Hi Ron,

Uh ... I never got that place up and going, but when I lived in Germany, i did play at a place called Club Kazabra many times. I guess that doesn't count, though.

Regarding the pauses, I decided to use them at the end of each verse and chorus because the music was so intense. I thought it would give the listener a chance to breathe - also the music. The mix came together rather quickly. Everything just fell into place. And the mastering brought the accordion up the volume level of the piano without making the accordion sound " brassy" and thin. i got lucky that everything came together so quickly just the way I wanted it to. I'd like for that to happen a little more often!

Thanks for the very nice words, Ron. best ...

Alan
